Great location, convenient to shops and restaurants, either within walking distance or a short drive away. Our top (3rd) floor room was perfect, with a lovely balcony for breakfast or just to sit in the evenings. We were there 2 nights, 3 days (Mon-Wed); don't know what weekends might be like. Staff were friendly and responsive. Fridge in room, but coffee/tea available only in hotel office, which doesn't open until 8 a.m. A microwave on a cart sits outside, 1 on each floor. Only 1 nightstand in room with king bed. Desk had automatic height adjuster, but sink was on the high side and the hangers in the closet were hard to reach for person 5 ft 4 in. Really nice shower. Definitely will visit again.

I liked this place. Newly renovated, clean as a whistle. Spacious. Great location although parking is tight. Floors are a bit thin so you hear the people above you if they wear concrete shoes like the kids above us. Big refrigerator in the room and a great shower. Comfortable bed. Recommended

It is close to the Birdrock commercial area where we tried the highly regarded Wayfarer Bread, the Bird Rock Coffee Roaster shop, and an Italian restaurant. It was a quick drive to Harry’s for breakfast in La Jolla and discovered they have a parking lot behind the restaurant. Parking at the hotel was plentiful and at no cost, such a plus in San Diego. The hotel was quiet, though quite full.
